The Enchanted Island of Centenarians

Moraitis was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. The doctors gave him nine months to live. He had to choose between his current house in Boyton Beach in Florida or to his ancestral property in Ikaria, a Greek Island. He choose to die in his ancestral place. He didn't go thru any therapy, yet the normal way of living in the island, made him stronger.

25 years later, the cancer seems to have gone without any medication. He has outlived the nine months that the doctors gave him. He went to America to see the doctors to get an explanation. All of his doctors were dead!

A very long interesting read from NY Times. Summary: drink herbal tea, drink wine, sleep well, eat vegetables that you grow in your garden, socialize.
